Two days later, Jiang Haiyang's leg was completely healed.
However, he hadn't seen Yu Xiangcao in the past two days except when they were eating, and he hadn't even spoken a word to her during meals.
This led Jiang Haiyang to a misunderstanding. He wondered if his words that day had offended Xiangcao or touched a sore spot, and he felt he should apologize to her.
That evening, Yu Xiangcao was resting in the yard after dinner, because she was going to the Wang family's old house to make black bean fish with Wang Chunyan.
Jiang Haiyang took the opportunity to walk over.
"Miss Vanilla, my brother and I are going back tomorrow. I'd like to go for a walk. Would you be willing to accompany me?"
Don't worry, no one will see you at night, and it won't affect you.
Jiang Haiyang was afraid that if he didn't find an opportunity now, he would never have another chance to apologize to him.
Yu Xiangcao originally wanted to make an excuse to refuse, but before she could even open her mouth, she heard Jiang Haiyang continue, "Miss Xiangcao, you wouldn't refuse me even this small favor, would you?"
Didn't you say we were friends? Besides, we'll be relatives in the future.
I originally wanted to ask my brother Yu Cheng to come with me, but he was with his wife the whole time, and I didn't want to bother them.
Needless to say, Ping An's brother has already gone for a walk with my sister.
I can't find anyone right now, so I'd like to trouble you to come for a walk with me.
"The food my uncle and aunt cooked tonight was so delicious that I ate too much and now my stomach is a little bloated."
Let's go outside for a stroll, enjoy the night view of the village, and also digest our food.
"Miss Vanilla, you won't refuse this little request of mine, will you?"
Jiang Haiyang guessed that Yu Xiang wanted to reject him, so he quickly came up with a better reason.
Yu Xiangcao nodded. "Manager Jiang, of course I can accompany you for a walk. Just like you said, we are friends."
Let's go out now!
However, I don't have much time; Chunyan and I are going to make spicy black bean fish later.
Since they've gone this far, it would seem too deliberate for her not to agree.
No matter what, they'll be relatives in the future, so we can't let things get so strained!
Besides, they didn't do anything wrong, so it wouldn't be good for me to do the same.
Jiang Haiyang felt inexplicably happy when he saw that Yu Xiangcao had agreed.
"Okay, an hour will be enough, it won't take up too much of your time."
Yu Xiangcao walked in front, and Jiang Haiyang followed behind.
"The air here is really nice. You can smell the fragrance of flowers and grass, and the aroma of rice as you breathe."
Jiang Haiyang started to find topics to talk about.
"Yes, the air in the countryside is indeed very fresh; you can even smell the earth."
However, it's not to say that living in the city is bad; there are advantages to living in the city.
The city has convenient transportation and excellent medical care.
There are other advantages, such as finding a job being much easier than in rural areas.
In rural areas, it's quite difficult for farmers to earn even two yuan.
Yu Xiangcao nodded, looking at the rice that was gradually turning green and plump, thinking that the golden autumn season of October was just around the corner.
"You're right. It's true that food, clothing, housing, and transportation are more convenient in the city, and it's also much easier to find a job and earn money in the countryside."
It seems Vanilla knows quite a bit about this.
Jiang Haiyang didn't expect Yu Xiangcao to have thought about so many things.
"You city dwellers, after living in the city for a long time, will find that the countryside is pretty good."
People from rural areas who have lived in the countryside for a long time may also envy the lives of people in the city.
They're actually all the same; you could just say they each have their own advantages.
This is what Yu Xiangcao was thinking.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I think the rice will be ready for harvest in less than a month."
"I'll definitely be busy then."
Jiang Haiyang pointed to a rice paddy not far away and said.
"Yes, it will take about a month."
I didn't expect Manager Jiang to know so much about rice.
Yu Xiangcao nodded.
"Although I grew up in the city, I also learned about agriculture from books, so I know a little, but I don't have as much experience as you."
By the way, Ms. Vanilla, could you please stop calling me Manager Jiang from now on?
Just call me Brother Jiang, like your two younger brothers do. After all, we're friends now, and we'll be relatives in the future. We can't keep calling each other like that, it's so formal!
It's unclear whether Yu Xiangcao's coldness and aloofness were directed at him alone, or whether she treated all strange men this way.
"Alright, from now on I'll call you Brother Jiang!"
By the way, Brother Jiang, you didn't call me out just for a walk, did you?
Is there something you want to say?
Is there something you want to tell me?
Yu Xiangcao always felt that he couldn't have just asked her to take a walk; he must have something he wanted to say to her.
Since they haven't been getting down to business, she had no choice but to ask directly.
"It seems I couldn't hide anything from you. Actually, I specifically asked you to come out for a walk with me, mainly to apologize to you."
Since people had asked him directly, Jiang Haiyang admitted it.
"Apologize?
What is there to apologize for?
Brother Jiang, I don't remember you ever doing anything to wrong me.
Yu Xiangcao looked up and asked in confusion.
"That was the day I was bitten by a snake. I said I would arrange a job for your husband and let him work in a textile factory."
I'm sorry, I didn't know beforehand that you didn't have a husband. No, that's not it either...
